The Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) channel AXN SCI-FI is now available in over 2 million households in Russia and the CIS.
This follows recent agreements with the DTH platform NTV-Plus and IPTV service Stream.
The sci-fi channel was launched in the region in December 2007 and has since negotiated a number of carriage deals in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
AXN SCI-FI is an extension of AXN, which has over 14 million subscribers in CEE as a whole.
